Energy Department Posts Commodity Price Information

On Thursday, the U.S. Energy Information Administration announced that it has opened up a new web page on which it will post a set of key energy commodity spot and futures prices for easy reference by investors. The page, titled "Today in Energy," contains such data points as:

"Spot" natural gas and electricity prices for various regions of the country -- New England, the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Southwest, and Northwest, as well as for specific locales important to the energy markets, such as New York City, Louisiana, and Houston

EIA says it will be updating these data points each weekday, "typically' between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m.

I like things that go "boom." Sonic or otherwise, that means I tend to gravitate towards defense and aerospace stocks. But to tell the truth, over the course of a dozen years writing for The Motley Fool, I have covered -- and continue to cover -- everything from retailers to consumer goods stocks, and from tech to banks to insurers as well. Follow me on Twitter or Facebook for the most important developments in defense & aerospace news, and other great stories besides.
